  7. This idea has been rolling around in my head for a while, and last week I finally found an open evening to make it happen…install a hands free Bluetooth speaker in my helmet. The idea is more about being able to answer calls than to make them. We have a new driver at home and I don't want to miss a call if there is an emergency. Years ago I got a Motorola Model T305 Hands Free speaker for use in my car, but only used it a few times. (I think I got it from Woot.com for $19). Anyhow, I opened it up and soldered extension wires for the speaker and microphone. There is already a sewn pocket in the helmet for a speaker so I just ran the wires between the shell and the foam panels, then looped the speaker into the pocket. The microphone was a bit of a challenge. There are removable foam sections to each side of the chin bar. I had to cut a small hole in the rigid plastic backer and stuff the microphone into the foam. I can feel it while wearing the helmet, but it’s not uncomfortable. The housing of the T305 is held to the left side if the helmet using 3M VHB tape. If you are not familiar with VHB tape, it’s the strongest foam tape on earth (or at least it seems to be). The 4 wires that are run into the helmet are inside of a section of heat shrink tubing to help protect the fragile wires. One note, the microphone from the T305 is tiny and just about impossible to re-solder, so I used a larger microphone from an old cordless phone instead. Bottom line, the darn thing works surprisingly well. If I receive a call, I just tap the main button (which is easy to hit even with gloves) to answer. To make a call while riding, I just tap the same button and speak the name of who I want to call. The T305 asks me to confirm the name (yes or no), then my Blackberry dials the number. Because the microphone is stuffed inside the foam, wind noise is not a problem. To hang up, I hit the same button again. To charge it, there's a mini-usb socket on the end facing backwards. Its meant to take 12v via a car cigarette lighter, but I'll use a generic 12v wall power supply wired to the contacts on the car charger plug for now. Having the pod hanging off the side of the helmet looks a little goofy, but $19 for a Bluetooth helmet isn’t bad.

  8. Awesome. It would have been better if he was wearing a red shirt though.

  9. This. Without football??? How about he only made it 3 months living with the shame of his deepest, darkest secret being in the headlines. He claimed to someone who helped kids, yet when kids needed his help the most he did absolutely fucking nothing. That is what you call a defining moment

  13. By anyone's measure, a great coach and a great man, who made one really bad decision. It's too bad that 45 years of turning out quality young men and an always solid football program will, for a long time, be overshadowed by his egregious inaction. One mistake. One big, giant mistake. As KK said, football kept him going. Made it what, about 3 months without football?

  16. hahaha ok... So the aircraft carrier does business as usual launching airstrikes against Afghanistan, both inside the gulf and outside the gulf. And they leave to go home as scheduled, and Iran says "Don't ever come back". Yeah, ok. We have cut back on carriers in and around the Gulf. We don't need them there for Iran, only to support air ops in Afghanistan. (Flight corridor through Pakistan, past Iran. I'm sure that makes them unhappy, but they say nothing.) We have five airbases on foriegn soil, created just for dealing with Iran. Not counting other airbases created for dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan. And not counting airbases that no one talks about, or that huge island nearby called Diego Garcia. We do need assets to protect shipping, and ships do that best. Expect NATO and others to step up soon, if this continues. Mine sweepers are always welcome in that area. Iran is hurting. China cut oil purchases from Iran back by a good percentage this month, and willing to do so for another month. Everyone else is considering a total ban on oil purchases from Iran. Oddly, the John C. Stennis group just rescued Iranians that were hostage of Somali pirates, and they are on their way home. No hostages, no demands, no bluster or threats or bragging. None needed. Expect Iran to spin it anyway they can. I repeat: One US Navy submarine could implement stone age over night. Iran, be careful what you wish for.
